to Dr. J .C. MacLennan, of the

The number or cases involv-
ing ,foxes and • skunks are up
considerably, and 'this in turn
is resulting in increased num-
bers .of farm .animals becoming
infected, he Said. 'During the
past week a horse and five cows
were located in the northern
part, of Huron with rabies. -
"It is surprising how farm-
ers neglect to have their dogs
and pets vaccinated," Dr, Mac-
Lennan said. "They think rabies
can't bother them."
Huron County Health Unit,
in co-operation with the Health'
of Animals Branch and veter-

of rabies elinics, one of . which
is scheduled for Seaforth next

tually became vice-principal.

been geography teacher at Hur-
on Secondary School in Clinton.
He is a former, superintendent

an elder in that church 'at the
present • time, and last year
served a term as district gov-,
ernor of• District 1, Association
of Kinsmen Clubs. He said he

the constituency. Several- years
ago he played Intermediate 'B'
hockey with 'the Seaforth Beav-
ers. '
Mr, Addison said that "when

Accomplishments
"Let us not be lulled into any
false complacency," he contin-
ued. "I would riot discount Mr.
Diefenbaker. The Canadian peo-
ple are going to watch this
campaign,very closely and their
decision is not going to be tak-
en lightly. I feel confident that
their good common sense *ill
reject Mr. Diefenbaker. If our
country is to remain free and -
independent, Quebec must re-
main a part of Canada and be
represented in the government.
